I Hate My Friends by Television Keeps Us Apart This band has been around for a while, but I don't think they've really made much ground in the U.S. They're another awesome band from Sweden and have been compared to Postal Service and Depeche Mode. I don't agree with either comparison, so you tell me who they sound like in the comments area below. MP3 I Hate My Friends BUY \| Series Two Records
Never Yours by Low Sea Low Sea, an Irish duo, make some of the creepier music on the site this week. I have a soft spot in my heart for creepy music. I picked this song because Low Sea knows how to pull it off without sounding cheesy. Never Yours can be found on the latest album from Low Sea called Las Olas (Spanish for waves). As I listen to this track, I can't help but picture what one of their live shows would look like. I'm guessing a bunch of kids with black eye makeup, black clothes, black pointy boots, flailing their skinny, pale arms around trying really hard not to smile because the music is so damn good. MP3 Never Yours BUY \| CD Baby
Western Hospitality by Club 8 I first heard Club 8, from Sweden, back in 2003 when a close friend of mine made a mix tape for me with the song This Is The Morning. It's an incredible track from the album, Strangely Beautiful. Then I didn't hear another thing from them until recently. The 7th album from Club 8 is due May 12 and is said to be different and absolutely amazing. It's the first time the pop duo has collaborated with a producer and the choice fell on Jari Haapalainen who to this date has produced the likes of Camera Obscura and The Concretes. MP3 Western Hospitality BUY \| Labrador Records
Dreaming by Soulo This song (Poly Styrene Cover) reminds me of a mix between JJ and Jonsi. It's also a great track to slow down the pace of this-here track list before I blow it back out of the water. Soulo is giving away a couple songs including Dreaming via their website.

Sleep Paralysist by Neon Indian I'm so excited to hear more from Neon Indian so soon after their last release back in October. If you're new to the site, you'll soon find that I'm a big fan of Alan Palomo, brainchild of Neon Indian and Vega. Sleep Paralysist is available for free download from Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound. Some people might even like it more than his previous Neon Indian recordings for the simple fact that you can clearly hear his voice. This track was co produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor over at his label, Terrible. Listen or Download to the right. ---->>>>
Sea Change by Turin Brakes Turin Brakes continually refines their sound since their professional introduction in 2001. This track is expertly produced and performed. I expect a lot of praise heading in the TB direction in the coming months. Critical acclaim isn't new to the group having been nominated for a Mercury prize for their debut album. Outbursts, the latest album from the UK duo takes on a different direction from years past. It's a good thing because they were heading down a path of mediocrity. MP3 Sea Change BUY \|
She's Devastating by DiscoTech I don't think anyone would accuse me of being narrow minded when it comes to music. It's sad that so many blogs and music websites are worried about losing subscribers if they highlight an artist that doesn't match the genre they specialize in. DiscoTech is one of those artists that aren't typically on ArtistRoster, but this track attracts my attention every time I hear it. You should listen to it with some decent headphones or you won't get it. Think this track is good? Think it's awful? Let me know in the comments section below. BUY \|
Hello Africa by Indian Jewelry This album is old as Hell, but Hello Africa is a great track. Their forthcoming album Totaled, will be available May11 on Now We Are Free. MP3 Hello Africa BUY \|
I Hope You DIe by Wye Oak Have a great week. I hope you die. by Wye Oak. MP3 I Hope You Die Available 4/20 via Merge Records
